We had the launch party the other night, and if you were there, thank you so much for your attendance, throwing your panties, and dropping multiple roofies into my drinks throughout the night. Much appreciated.

More importantly, you need to watch the YouTube trailer for the book, which is the brain child of myself and carried out with incredible verve by Chicago comedian Hank Thompson (check him out here).

This YouTube video has actually already won multiple awards, including Best Supporting YouTube Still and Most Outstanding Use of White Flash Between Video Clips. If you like it, please share it with others. But seriously, here is what you need to do: This week is the Republican convention in Tampa where Willard Romney will accept the nomination. You, my friends, should really post this video on the YouTube Facebook pages of prominent Democratic and Republican politicians and say something like, "The cure to Tampa." I don't know, you'll come up with something better than that.

Then again, I will get $1 or so each time someone buys the book, so I am accomodating my rational self-interest by telling you this (you got me, Paul Ryan!). There will also be some kind of bullshit contest on the way, but I haven't figured out the parameters just yet. Also, I'm on the road this whole week, heading to the great wilds of Portland, Maine, so expect a few really half-assed blogs and one great surprise tomorrow.
